Feeding video to x264 Command Line

[0028606]

Can anyone suggest anyway to decode and send video directly to x264 for encoding on command line? rather than using ffmpeg or mencoder.

mkfifo pipe.y4m && x264 pipe.y4m <options> & mplayer inputfile -noaudio -vo yuv4mpeg:file=pipe.y4m

or something like that.
